What Colour Jackets And Coats to Wear with Grey Knit Dress
The best jacket colours to wear with a grey knit dress are navy, burgundy and black. Grey and navy are both cool and quiet, a safe office pairing. Olive, dark brown, beige and brown also work. Be careful with denim blue: a denim jacket is more casual than a knit dress, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: grey and denim blue are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
